The final program for the annual conference of the Mormon History Association has been posted. It looks like there are going to be many great discussions about Mormon Women’s history in San Antonio. There will also be a Mormon Women’s History Tea and Book Discussion Group on Thursday June 5 at 4:30 p.m at the Hard Rock Cafe (111 W Crocket Street). The conversation will be started off by a guest panel of historians who will discuss “Mormon Women in the Academy”. Recommended reading: the Romania B. Pratt Penrose and Ellis Shipp chapters in Women of Faith in the Latter Days (PDF copies will be emailed to you). Please RSVP to Amanda hendrixa@umich.edu or brittany.chapman@ldschurch.org

Finally, don’t miss the Mormon Women’s History Initiative’s Breakfast which will host a researcher’s round table at the new and improved time of 7:00 a.m.

Here is a list of presentations — if you know of others that might not have been as easily identified as women’s history topics from their titles, please post below!
